Personally, my second choice is good ole Mossy Oak.

You're exactly right -- if you emphasize the adjective which I highlighted for you! The old breakup was really, really good... The new stuff? There's a reason so many people call it Mossy Oak Blackup!

I just noticed after I posted that last one that I'm actually wearing the old Breakup in my avatar pic to the left... this is the last outfit I was able to get in the old stuff, before they started making that stuff that was like 40% black...

Of course, I've now switched to Fall Grey for just about all my hunting needs now anyway, so it's pretty much a moot point.

Lots of good camo on the market. I prefer Predator but use RT Hardwoods quite a bit. I've also grown to like my Advantage Timber outfit a lot, but thats mostly due to the fact its a Cabelas rainsuede waterproof outfit thats quiet and can be used in dry weather as well because its so light. As for Mossy Oak its one camo pattern I won't use...just a big blob IMO. I am also a believer that using a headcover or camo makeup for your face is essential. Human skin just isn't a natural color/texture in the woods

But the best camo of all is being still, quiet and downwind. I've taken a few deer from the ground with my bow including 2 Pope and Young bucks, and in late season last year passed up shots at 3 mature does(out of a group of 12 deer) from less than 20 yards, so that a new bowhunter could hopefully take his first deer. We were both set up on the ground......me kneeling beside two medium size trees. Wind was right, I didn't move and kept quiet. All was well until my buddy shot and the herd took off like quail being flushed. By the way my buddy missed.

Well, lets see...thereare many different hunting conditions and I personally have many types of camo depending on the color of foilage and terrain. I have a ghilley outfit, mossy oak, realtree, natural gear; full foilage colors for spring turkey and early fall bow and different shades as the leaves turn and fall. Then there is white camo for predator and deer hunting on the ground.I love camo,my hunting room looks like a Cabelas store.

Looks like my hunting room except thatI have it all in 4 of the really big tubs with lids since I do alot of reloading and archerystuff in there too I need to keep it in containers to keep it as scent free as possible. Then when season rolls around I wash and restore what Im going to use in the new XXL zip lock bags or my green zippered scent free bag.Isnt it funny how much stuff we aquire over the years.

I know this one guy who actually has his own washer and dryer in his hunting room so he doesnt have to wash his hunting clothes with the same washer and dryer his wife uses to do household laundry.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Hmmm...

I know Ive tried to come up with a way to convience my wife I need my own washer and dryer to. I dont think she'll buy it though. More of a space thing than a money thing. Im always yellin at her to get her crap out of my hunting room and I know she'll have a fit if I put them in her laundry room. She already complains about not having enough space. Ill have to work on that one. You guy this has really been a good thread and I hope we can keep throwing out ideas. This site is alot like Kisky but with more traffic. I cant stand Bowsite. You get jumped everytime you post on there. I havent been on there in years.
